History

OP STAPEL vzw is a Belgian state recognized (NN 0450693969) cultural association.
Founded in 1993 by professional musicians, more than 120 classical chamber music concerts have been organized.

Objectives

OP STAPEL vzw is an artistic collective that wants the public
to (re)discover the great masterpieces
of world chamber music litterature.

Approach

OP STAPEL provides a platform around which chamber music lovers
can get into direct contact with the music itself.A high professional level of musicianship absolutely comes first.
All performers are classically trained musicians - soloists of international level and experience - who all
play in professional orchestras and ensembles. The programming ranges from pre-baroque and romantic - on authentic instruments - to contemporary 'classical' music.

Stapelconcerts

In the period 1993-1997, the association has organized 22 evening concerts in the Ghent Gravensteen.
As of February 2001 a new formula was adopted: aperitif concerts on Sunday mornings in the Cultuurkapel St-Vincent.

After complete restoration, this marvellous chapel was given a new purpose as a modern concert hall.

Its acoustic properties are close to perfection.

A free drink is offered after the concert.

SUPPORT OP STAPEL - BECOME A FRIEND

Professional musicians founded OP STAPEL vzw in 1993.
Since then, the organisation has been enjoying the financial support of the town of Ghent - Cultural Department - the
Province of Oost-Vlaanderen ans S.W.U.K.

However, maintaining the high level of musical performances and the rental of musical instruments (piano,
cembalo, organ,...)
does not come cheap. Rental prices of concert halls have risen considerably in recent years.
